IFFK 2008 is over. Parque Via directed by Enrique Rivero won the Golden Crow Pheasant award for the best film. Mariana Rondon, who directed the movie Postcards from Leningrad, was adjudged the best director.
Huseyin Karabey who directed My Marlon and Brando bagged the award for the best debutant director. Machan directed by Uberto Pasolini got the spectators’ award for the best film. You can find more details about this and other awards here.
I could not watch any films today. But anyway, I enjoyed the festival. I encountered several good movies and a few bad ones. But there are three films that stand out in my list. These are The Photograph, Half Moon, and Three Monkeys.
For me, the main problem was the Retrospective section. Although Amos Gitai and Karen Shakhnazarov are well respected, they do not have any chance against Pedro Almodovar or Kim Ki Duc. However, the 50 years ago package is an excellent addition.
So, for the next one year till December 2009, we have to contend with the acting and plots of real life. Hope we can enjoy all that just like we enjoyed the movies in IFFK.
